Trapped

De: Michael Northrop

Narrado por: Ramon De Ocampo

The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive...

Scotty and his friends Pete and Jason are among the last seven kids at their high school waiting to get picked up that day, and they soon realize that no one is coming for them. Still, it doesn't seem so bad to spend the night at school, especially when distractingly hot Krista and Julie are sleeping just down the hall. But then the power goes out, then the heat. The pipes freeze, and the roof shudders. As the days add up, the snow piles higher, and the empty halls grow colder and darker, the mounting pressure forces a devastating decision.

Disappointing ending

I had high hopes for this book. I was specifically looking for an atmospheric thriller. My absolute favorite genre are thrillers/mysteries set during snowstorms. Imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon this book. It hooked me from the very beginning. Teenagers trapped in their HS during a catastrophic snowstorm. What more could you ask for? The author did a great job building suspense. He created characters that allowed for an emotional attachment from readers. I was 100% invested. Unfortunately he dropped the ball with the ending. It was very anticlimactic. I feel like it wasn't even finished. I was left with more questions and just letdown in general. This book had all the makings of what should've been a five star rating from me. The narrator did an excellent job. Just wish the author had written a better ending to this book.

Feeling Trapped

Took a long while, feeling Trapped along with the 7 of them, but finally paid off.

Very good

This was such a good book and i hope others enjoy it just as much as i did.

chilllssss

I have loved this book since I was in middle school. it brought me chills to find it again. the story i feel was mostly realistic with a response to crisis. not to mention how humans function. really good! must read/listen if you havent!!!

I loved it!

I really enjoyed the plot. And I think the author did a great job of adding suspense to the story

I think I might like it more as a movie

it's a really good story idea. It kinda gives me Breakfast Club vibes but more life threatening. I do feel like the story moved a bit slowly and might have been easier to consume as a movie than as a book. Most of the action is packed into the last quarter of the book and it feels like a lot of attention went into zits and bathroom breaks and crushes instead of the deadly situation they were in. Which, to be fair, is probably a fairly realistic teenage viewpoint so, I digress. I did still like the book and the narration was easy to listen to.

A MUST READ

Loved how it made you not want to put book down! Extremely intriguing and entertaining.

Best story ever

The story was beautifully narrated. Great set up and character development. I listened to with my two elementary school daughters during a road trip and they thoroughly enjoyed.

Good Book, Ending is Abrupt and Lacks Closure

Feels a bit like a wasted opportunity I’m sorry to say. Interesting story with a juicy premise - 7 kids get stuck at their high school during an apocalyptic snow storm. Think “Breakfast Club plus Snow-nado.” I would have liked to learn more about each character and what else was happening in the town. High school should have had more resources and would have liked to see the kids think their way through some of the struggles they faced. Characters not fully developed and there wasn’t the amount of bonding going on that I would expect in this kind of situation. Ending is abrupt with very little closure. But still, an entertaining audio book and well performed.

Best Book I've read

I strongly recommend this book during this winter season it is really really good!!! Especially when you're reading and listening in your bed.
